Our Western Area Issue Management Resolution (IMRS) Adjunct Analyst has recently started "IMRS Monthly Calls" where on the fourth Thursday of each month the IMRS Adjunct Analyst holds a brief 30 minute meeting via WebInterpoint (a webinar type technology) and AT&T conference call to share some information about IMRS including the IMRS "Hot Issues Report", etc. The Adjunct Analyst then opens the discussion to see if any practitioners have noticed any possible systemic issues having to do with federal tax policies, practices and/or procedures. One of the main goals of IMRS is to identify these systemic issues so we can make Headquarters aware of them, and hopefully get them resolved: (Decrease taxpayer burden and in turn hopefully increase voluntary compliance).

The next IMRS call will be this Thursday (5/22) from 8:30 - 9:00 am. Please see attached flyer for additional information including the AT&T conference call-in number and access code. Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter.

Would you be so kind as to forward this invitation to your practitioners!
Please remind the practitioners
If they are unable to attend the call, they can feel free to invite a fellow practitioner or member of their practitioner organization to attend. If they have a potential IMRS issue, they can also email the issue to you or to Regina.M.Lauridsen@irs.gov for review. We will mention the issue/concern on the call and solicit feedback from other practitioner participants.
